Diversity- Our culture is based on mutual respect and we value the differences that each employee brings to their position. Employees will treat others with respect and should build an environment of mutual respect. Employee differences and disagreements should always be handled peacefully and professionally. Employees will respect cultural and racial differences and work support an environment where all employees are respected for their contributions.…
In today’s society, one has to be culturally competent and sensitive to diversity issues in order to understand others. The reasons for this are to broaden one's worldview of others and be more open-minded, increase one's awareness of others' identities and cultures, as well as increasing one's knowledge of different ethnicities, races, and cultures. This allows someone to work with people from different backgrounds and be more accepting of the various cultures and people we will have to work with.…

Carte and Fox bring about many issues that come to surface while working with people of all different races and backgrounds. Although teaching you to have good manners is top priority, there are other ways to deal with an increased amount of diversity. They say it is very important to know yourself first hand. You must know yourself, your goals, and accomplishments. You must understand your responsibility in the work place. Next, you can take a look at the people around you. Notice what everybody 's job consists of. Think about the pieces of the puzzle and how they fit. Most importantly don 't assume that they don 't play a part or role because they are of different race or ethnicity. Build a relationship with fellow employees. Building a relationship may overlook how they are so different. Finally, think of the company as a whole. Contemplate on how the company will function if the employees are not cooperating with each other because they are not of the same race or ethnics or because there are too many stereotypes.…
Healthcare providers all have a common goal and that goal is to provide quality care in an environment that is conducive to healing. But what happens, when the quality care is hampered by unprofessional attitudes or conflict? How well is the delivery of quality care, when these are mixed in? The common interest is for patients to receive the best care possible and give the facility a good recommendation to others; so new clients may be acquired. Administrators want their facilities to have a good reputation but when internal conflict can be viewed by the patients, that is a problem that has to be solved. Only good communication,…

This results in the many employees from different backgrounds being in a better place to communicate with the diverse pool of customers (Rosenwald, Mitchell, et al. 149). This attribute of workers being assigned to work they are thought to perform best is significant as it improves the effectiveness of execution. Workers stand a better chance of providing services, which are error free. Work diversity has resulted in the minority, the females and people with disabilities being fully represented in the work force. These three categories had been neglected for a long period. The increased awareness and sensitization on the need for embracing work force diversity led to the adoption of these people in the work force.…
Diversity has many faces that range from gender, culture, ethnicity, race, economic status, physical abilities, and many more, and this can be a problem that can affect many people who are employed or looking for employment in society because they are being judged or discriminated against for their differences. But if business took the time to understand the importance of differences in people so many doors could open for the employers and employees. Allowing diversity in the workplace could increase work morale, attendance, customers, and efficiency and create a less stressful environment for employees. This is possible by first increasing the diversity in the workplace and allowing for employees to learn about each other’s differences and…

America is recognized internationally for being a melting pot. It is only natural that the workplace would experience the same diversity (though it has taken quite some time to get there). While it is one thing to work in a diverse environment, it is an entirely different matter to manage one. There is a certain finesse required to successfully manage a diverse work environment, and the supplemental reading helps give a foundation of how to do that. The Workforce Discrimination Prevention Manual is a useful, but not wholly encompassing, tool to current and/or future managers…
This sense of pride in diversity has led the nation to where it is today. It is important to identify various dimensions of workplace diversity. The first dimension involves primary levels of diversity. That is, people with disabilities, gender, race, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, creed, religion, and age are primary dimensions of diversity. These basic groups require the greatest degree of management dexterity and attention because they play an important part in workforce interrelationships and communication. These areas are also more prone to conflicts and negative reactions among employees. Managers must recognize that there is a need to train, inform, and sensitize their employees to deal with issues relating to this type of diversity. Consequently, managers must recognize the…
